Online Casino Market by Game Type (Card Games, Poker, Slots, Table Games and Others) and Device (Desktops and Laptops, Mobiles and Tablets)

Online casinos or Internet casinos are virtual casinos or the online versions of traditional casinos. Online casinos, by means of the internet, enable gamblers to play and wager on casino games. This is a prolific form of online gambling.
Online casinos usually offer odds and payback percentages, which are a bit higher than land-based casinos. Some online casinos publish payout percentage audits on their websites in addition to the higher payback percentages for slot machine games. Table games like blackjack have an established house edge, assuming that the online casino is using an appropriately programmed random number generator. Generally, the payout percentage for these games is decided by the rules of the game.

Online casinos based on their interface are divided into two groups. They are web-based and download-only casinos, but some casinos offer both interfaces.

Online casinos are websites where users may play casino games without downloading the software to their local computer. They are also known as flash casinos. Games are mainly represented in the browser plugins such as Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Shockwave or Java. They require browser support for these plugins. In addition, bandwidth is required as all graphics, sounds, and animations are loaded through the web via the plugin. Through a HTML interface, some online casinos also allow gameplay.

In a virtual casino game, the result of each game is dependent on the data which is produced by a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). To generate a long stream of numbers which give the impression of true randomness, PRNGs use a set of mathematical instructions known as an algorithm. Properly regulated online casinos are audited externally by independent regulators. It provides a degree of assurance to the player that the games are fair, provided that the player trusts the regulator. The independent regulators ensure that their win percentages are in line with the stated odds.

Many online casinos rent or buy their software from companies like CryptoLogic Inc (now Amaya), International Game Technology, Microgaming, Playtech, Golden Race and Realtime Gaming.

Factors Influencing Market Scenario:
Online casinos are particularly attractive to younger players above 21 years of age. Millennials are opposed to the structure and layout of traditional casino floors. Millennials do not enjoy getting lost inside casinos, and they seek a specific type of gaming experience which is best served through interactive online casinos. So, they are not enthusiastic about the design and layouts of traditional casinos. Millennials perceive slot games to be antisocial and boring.

Millennials is one of the important drivers for Online Casino Market. Low cost operations due to online casinos will boom the market. In addition, any game romanticized by Hollywood celebrities in movies is the key factor fueling the growth of the market.
